The Complete Works of Aristotle, Volume Two: The Revised Oxford Translation: 97 (Bollingen Series)

Aristotle is one of the most influential figures in human history. His philosophical works, which is far from the total sum of his academic achievements, have served as a foundation for philosophy for over two millennia. Now, these works have been translated and collated into two manageable volumes. I would recommend this as an essential collection for any philosophy student, especially those with an interest in ancient philosophy.

The purchased item was fine, I am disappointed at being duped into a subscription Tv service though. Back to the bookshop for me, they don't take money from my account 2 months later for something I don't want to buy.

Delivery: went to the wrong house, in the wrong street. Luckily, i'm friends with the house owner so they kept the package for me. Book: great.

Amazing

É preciso ser dito que a entrega da Amazon do exterior é muito ruim, porque eles enviam o produto, neste caso, os livros sem proteção alguma dentro da caixa e ainda por cima com caixa ou saco de terceira qualidade. Qual o resultado disso? O livro vem amassado e cheio de avarias. Aconteceu comigo em outros livros que comprei do exterior, mas graças ao bom Deus não com este. Faço, contudo, a ressalva e o elogio de que a Amazon BR envia os produtos, no geral, bem embalados e não lembro se tive problema com avaria antes. Um outro comentário já disse que estamos em falta de boas traduções das obras de Aristóteles e ainda demorará até que tenhamos o corpus Aristotélico em boas edições aqui no Brasil. Pois bem, a vantagem dessa obra é que temos acesso ao corpus canônico completo e ainda as obras chamadas espúrias ou de autoria disputada. Mas seja como for, é valioso, ainda que não seja bilingue. Recomendo fortemente. Por fim, a qualidade editorial desse tomo está muito melhor do que a de Platão (obras completas da Oxford). Sensacional.

I’ve ordered volume 1 and 2 but only received volume 2 which is very strange to me. However the quality of the pages are beautiful even the print and font size. The language is easy to understand but does not take away the depth of it’s meaning. However I do find the spine of the book to be rather weak and also the pages get damaged rather easily. I think with such a heavy volume of pages they’ll need to bind it with a stronger spine and possibly print it with stronger paper.

This is a review of a lot of my education. Rhetoric to Alexander is an interesting twist. Aristotle talks about excellence but gives very practical advise to Alexander the Great. The Constitution of Athens is a empirical review of application of government. This is educational textbook, so not that fun. Fragments is a tease. I really want to read the opinions of other people. The discussion of ideas is the fun part. I hope some finds Aristotle's treatise on Pythagorean philosophy.
